<p>After closing at an all-time high in April, the stock market saw a big sell-off on May 1.</p>
<p>Once again, traders were asking themselves if they should "Sell in May and go away."</p>
<p>This old stock market rule was coined because there is actually some <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/financial-advisor-insights-april-30-2013-4">strong historical data </a>to back it up.</p>
<p>Walter Zimmerman, the top technical analyst at United-ICAP, charted the performance of a $10,000 investment in 1950 if you sold in May, and then bought back on November 1.</p>
<p>"The other half of the proverb is &lsquo;Buy Back on Saint Crispin&rsquo;s Day,&rsquo;" said Zimmerman.&nbsp; "That would be 25th October."</p>
<p>"This advice has shined the brightest in those years with the most extreme bullish sentiment going into May."</p>
<p>Check it out:</p>

<p>Earlier <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hussman-these-four-conditions-mean-the-market-is-going-to-plunge-2012-3">we mentioned</a> a Barron's <a href="http://online.barrons.com/article/SB50001424052748704759704577265360531477348.html?mod=BOL_twm_fs">piece by Randall Forsyth</a> drawing together the work of fund manager <a class="hidden_link" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/john-hussman">John Hussman</a> and a technical analysis guy named Walter Zimmernan, who says the market is in the middle of a "perfect storm."</p>
<p>Hussman you know: He's a well-respected fund manager who has completely missed the recovery since 2009. But he has a good long-term track record, and he's a serious economist/investor who shows a lot of rigor in his approach.</p>
<p>But who's Walter Zimmerman?</p>
<p>His title is the <a href="http://www.icap.com/market-commentary/research-and-commentary/independent-analysis.aspx">Senior Technical Analyst at United ICAP</a>. He also appears to be a major doomer who calls for crashes a lot.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat/2011/12/27/sp-500-falling-below-600-this-will-even-make-the-bears-shutter/?mod=WSJBlog">Last December he predicted that the market rally would go a "little" into January</a>, but that the S&amp;P would then go below 600 some time this year.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/article/putting-fed-shame-presenting-galaxys-biggest-bubble">In November 2010</a>, he was warning of sharply lower markets.</p>
<p>And in March 2009, he was talking about Hyperinflationary Depression on Glenn Beck's show (HT: <a href="http://twitter.com/Jesse_Livermore/statuses/178963552739131394">@jesse_livermore</a>).</p>
